According to Politico reporter Tim Alberta, GOP operatives in Michigan and Wisconsin say theyve never seen the left so engaged and organized not even during Obamas 2008 campaign when he defeated the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) by seven percentage points. They are worried about the GOTV efforts of Democrats.
The overwhelming majority of Republicans, confronted with the reality of a landslide defeat in the Electoral College, will realize that its time to see Trump out and time to look ahead to 2024, he predicts.

(16,646 posts)Someone pointed out that when the dust settles, the first thing Trump will do is to start campaigning for 2024. It will allow rallies and more importantly fund raising to keep the grift going. This could be a real problem for other candidates trying to separate themselves from the Trumpers.

(6,477 posts)There's a reason these GOP operatives keep contributing to stories like this. It's soft voter suppression.
Fight like we're losing. Every dollar, every phone call, every vote. Leave nothing on the table. It's life or death.

And now that the legislature & MI Supreme Court have endangered all our lives by kneecapping Governor Whitmer, expect COVID to spike in about 3-4 weeks.

(32,786 posts)They have done nothing - NOTHING - to deserve being re-elected. I hope this is the end of the Republican Party. I really HOPE we Democrats are able to hand it to them.

All of them are guilty of subverting democracy.
Nothing will ever get better in the United States until the GOP* is gone

(22,174 posts)angered the beast (the democrats, the independents, and everybody else). Too many excesses, too much disregard for the welfare and well being of others is turning people off, too much selfishness on the part of republicans.
To most of us, a republican represents the worst of the human condition, the ME ME ME attitude that is so prevalent in republican circles.
